Castellani Art Museum will hold an opening reception for the exhibition "Think BIG: The Artists of Autism Services" from 2-4 p.m. Sunday, May 6. The reception is free and open to the public and there will be light refreshments and an open bar.

Most works in "Think BIG" were created onsite at the CAM. Throughout 2017 and early 2018, the artists participated in workshops focusing on large-scale works from the museum's collection. For many of the artists, the pieces featured in the exhibit are the largest they've created to date, including Krauss's 14-foot painting on unstretched canvas.

The museum's central gallery was a source of inspiration because of its scale, which, when constructed in 1990, was the largest exhibition space in Western New York.

This exhibition is supported by New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
